Subject:When do you think music will change?

Written By:Screwball54on08/25/02 at 10:00 a.m.

Most of us remeber back in 1989 when Tiffany, NKOTB, Debbie Gibbson, and other pop acts ruled popular music. Well eventually they all died out, so much to the point thatmost people wouldn't have been caught dead listening to them. Grunge came along, and thier audience kind of grew out of it.So my question is when is this current line of pop stars going to die out? and whats going to replace them?

As much as a lot of people totally hate my view, I believe that music will get more and more advanced technologically. Electronia is only the beginning of this as the latest variety of singing robots will take over. This may sound fantastical, but thinking about it, it doesn't sound too far away, what with the current charts...

I mean everyone. Not just trance and techno, but pop stuff too.

I think that the acts like Britney Spears/NSYNC/BSB/etc. will either eventually switch music styles (not strictly bubblegum pop), or become less and less popular, and judging by the charts now, rock (esp. punk and alternative) and hip-hop will dominate the pop genre for awhile, before electronica becomes big (think about it, everyone liked/likes "Days Go By", "A Little Less Conversation", and Fatboy Slim songs, so I could definitely see it in the future."

Actually, it seems as if it has gradually come down from technology. Try listening to something like Front 242, Neubauten, Neu!, Roxy Music, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, et al. - this music was made, when? Like some 20 or 30 years ago? Now the public is listening to inane, jerky beats a la Eminem and Moby (the same crap looped over and over). If this is the current state of technology, then, by bog, music was waaaay advanced 20 or 30 years ago ::)

I've been wondering the same thing. Everything right now is still nearly the exact same way it was in the late '90s. At least the early '90s had grunge and gangsta rap, it was changing and different. And even the early '80s was different from the late '70s. The early '90s wasn't a replica of the late '80s. But all this around now, Britney, Christina, N'SYNC, BSB, Eminem, this is ALL LATE '90s.

I always hear teenagers say the early '90s were just a rerun of the '80s to them. Well that's just bull. There were plenty of things different in pop culture in the early '90s from the late '80s. This time right now in 2002 is almost exactly like the late '90s.

Well, I was watching a chart hits TV show this weekend and the top three songs had female artists playing in or with rock bands! And they were playing rock too, not touchy-feely stuff. Maybe serious rock will make a comeback for a while.

Hope so! ;D

Singing robots Hmmmmm......Quite frankly I don't see that as the way music will become purely because you won't get people filling an arena to watch machines make music.Much in the same way as I believe we will never end up shopping completely online or only read online.As I said to someone who once asked me in a survey if I thought people would stop buying books once we all had computers.You can't take a PC and read it in the bath!I don't think electronia will ever replace seeing a damn fine guitar solo live.

Subject:Re: When do you think music will change?

my thoughts exactly...it all sounds the same and says absolutely nothing.

For whatever reason, the '90s seem to be going strong with little to no sign of slowing down. What needs to happen is that people need to grow weary of the '90s. By the late '80s and early '90s, the style of the '80s had become yesterday's news and very uncool. Something like that needs to happen, but it hasn't happened. People still like the '90s.

I say it's changing as we post this. A lot of the Backstreet/N'Sync/Britney Spears-type of music looks like it's fading out now. I'd say it's being replaced by some post-grunge bands, but that would be too optimistic.

::) :D

Yeah it was about time for the Teen-pop stuff to go. I've noticed stuff like Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton is popular(not to crazy abbout those singers but its an improvement over teen-pop though.) If you look at the charts Norah Jones's album(a pop-jazz singer) has gone gold without Top 40 radio airplay which is good. Queens of the Stone Age could blow up. System of A Down's album has gone double platinum which is good for rock music. As for the post grunge bands I want to hear Soul Asylum and Sponge again. The Chilli Peppers are doing good right now. The thing that bothers me is the Nelly and Ja Rule stuff(its not even rap its pop.) As for the dance stuff Moby's latest album didn't even do that good in terms of sales. Dirty Vegas's album has only went gold despite getting a ton of airplay on the radio. As for the future of music I see System of A Down and Queens of the Stone Age being dominant. As for R&B has it gone away? The R. Kelly fiasco? Aaliyah's and Lisa Lopes's deaths? Is R&B going to be dead for this decade? Unless Toni Braxton or Monica comes out with something really great I wouldn't count on anything from R&B. I would like to see Lisa Stansfield again but I doubt she'll make another album especially in the US. I hope fashion changes again to something like the 80's again. Its been the same fashion since like 96. Before 96 it was the grunge look which started in 92-93. 90-91 was kinda 80's lite. I would like to see 90-91 fashions come back again. Just something different from the current fashions. I think the 80's fashions would be too drastic for this time period.
